PS5

Did anyone actually get a Digital with the first batch of pre-orders? It appears as though everyone who managed to get a hold of one got the Standard version and subsequent pre-order allocations mostly appeared to be Standards as well.

Seems so. I will hold out for the Digital version to be available. 4K OLED TV arriving tomorrow in preparation. Should be a nice upgrade from the current 1080i LCD TV I have at the moment.

I'm assuming it will have HDR as well. So, in which case, congrats, and prepare to be impressed.

I believe it does.

Hey - that's a model up from what I have. Awesome - you are going to really enjoy it :)

Thanks, I am really looking forward to it. Even wondering if the Xbox S games will look better on it now.

They will. People vastly underestimate the value of a good display.
 
I know I have. For years, I have thought "Agh, HD is good enough"
Coming from 720p is definitely a big step up, but what excites me most about OLED is the color reproduction and hdr, more than the resolution :love:

I’m blown away by this screen. HDR is something else. I fired up the Xbox One S and it switched into its 4K scaled mode with HDR. Forza 7 never looked so stunning. That HDR is just amazing. Deep blacks on the OLED helps too. But even the sun in the game felt like I was looking at the actual sun.
Can’t wait to get a PS5.

For now I want to go replay Red dead redemption 2 and Forza 7 now.

Niiiice!!! Oh man, so one huge upgrade today, and another one when the PS5 arrives. That’s just awesome, enjoy it!

RDR2 looks very muted and almost washed out to me, i think that is the intent though. I tried adjusting the HDR settings but couldn't really get it to look that much different. Not that much of fan of this look, it might look better on a brighter LCD TV as it is just too dim on my OLED.

Yeah, cannot wait for the PS5 now to be readily available. Probably Jan?

Looking forward to The Last Of Us 1 & 2 - I hear both are good games. And I need to play the first one, so I am told.

RDR2 has a known terrible HDR implementation. I also could not get it to look nearly as good as other games do.

The first one is one of my all-time favorites. Do it. Not sure how I feel about the second, but it sure is breathtakingly beautiful.

This game was / is the only reason I considered buying a Playstation for the first time in over 10yrs. Always been an Xbox fan.

But I think there are some other nice games to get stuck into on the PS.

The problem with the 2nd game is not that it's a bad game at its core. It's that questionable story choices, company ethics and politics muddied the waters to such an extent that you'll find that opinions on it are more often than not on the extreme ends of the scale.

Personally I could not see myself buying it (despite being a huge fan of the original and remaster), but your mileage may vary.

Having said that there are plenty other titles/franchises to get stuck into with your new PS, e.g. Ghost of Tsushima, Bloodborne/Demon Souls, Spiderman to name a few.
 
I see takealot have pre-orders open for the non-digital version + Spiderman game

I just came on here to post it as well. Good timing. Get it while still available everyone.
